From good quality but cheap unbranded goods, to international fancy brands at unimaginable prices, available in Hong Kong!
So before you start your shopping adventure in Hong Kong, let’s take a look at the places you can visit below!
1. Hong Kong Industrial Centre
For fashion shopping at relatively affordable prices, Hong Kong has an area that you must visit!
Its name is Hong Kong Industrial Center. On weekdays, there are more wholesalers here. Only on Saturday, the shops will sell in retail. On Sundays most shops are closed, so it’s better to optimize your Saturday to shop here.
Don’t be surprised, the quality of the clothes here can be like branded clothes but at a price that is very far below it. Suitable for those of you who like jastip haha!

2. Cheung Sha Wan Fashion Street
This place is almost like the Hong Kong Industrial center. But instead of being in the form of a mall, this place is a street where on either side there are shops selling clothing, ready-to-wear, knick-knacks, or other accessories.
For local fashion designers, this place is the first choice to find supporting materials in making their fashion items.
Here if you buy more clothes, the price will be cheaper. The rule of thumb: If you’ve bought four of them, try bargaining a little below the market price, you might get it!
Oh yes, for those who are looking for oversized clothing at Cheung Sha Wan, it is widely available.

3. Ladies Market
For women, in this market there are lots of cosmetics, cheap masks, and all kinds of skin care. I don’t really understand it, but if you’re women, you’ll understand!
Of course, not only cosmetics, various kinds of fashion items are also here. Even though it’s called the ladies market, there are still things for men.
Tips for men: Hold on tight to your partner if you don’t want to go broke. or at least when you go home you have to pay for extra baggage for groceries!

Tsim Sha Tsui is the shopping center of Hong Kong. There is a really big mall called Harbor City. Rows of international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and the like are seen lining up along Tsim Sha Tsui.
But even if your budget can’t afford to shop for bags like Syahrini, Tsim Sha Tsui is still cool for sightseeing! The streets are photogenic. Moreover, at the end of the road there is Victoria Harbor, which at night will see the sparkling city of Hong Kong which is so beautiful!

You can also bid. I have to. It’s just that, be mentally prepared if you get yelled at if you offer a sadistic offer like the song Afgan. So just bargain.
